I've been having some second thoughts about the name I've
given to this project - Delusion Twin - I've put one EP out, but I've
been thinking about changing the name. Some positives of it is
that when you type it into Google, you get very accurate search
results. The whole first page is filled with stuff related to it, not
like if the band was called Shift or something where you'd have to
put in endless keywords before you could find what you wanted. I
suppose the meaning behind it is sophisticated as well, and it
looks good in capital letters. The negatives - I feel like it's a bit too
pretentious for a band name, it's a little bit lame-sounding. I don't
think a band name should make a statement, I think it should be
just a name for something that speaks for itself, like Karnivool or
Converge or Radiohead or Tool. Not too sophisticated, not too
long. Plus I feel like laughing whenever I tell someone what it's
called because it's kind of pompous sounding. I suppose it would
be a little bit of trouble having to change it, but I'll do it if I have
to. What does Sputnik think? I feel I need to get some outside
perspective.

List is bands which I think have great names. Note that I'm thinking purely in the long term - I have high aspirations, and I don't want to have this stupid band name weighing me down. Of course, what I think doesn't really matter that much, it's how the name appears to other people.

"But it really comes down to would you be any happier with your name if you changed it."

Depends what I changed it to. I don't know if I could come up with anything better that does the same in search engines as Delusion Twin does, because that's an important thing. I probably wouldn't be any happier with The Screaming Homosexuals, for example.
